Through Trains and Sleepers.

10 run the TWO passenger tTalhs
from this city requires three locomo'
tives, two palace cars, two Wagner
sleeping coaches, four coaches, two
smokers, two mail and baggage cars,
and three crews. The system of run
ming the trains is as follows:
Engine No. II. with Chas. Simmons
as engineer and James Baguley as
fireman, leave the depot at 9:15
o'clock Sunday night. Attached to
it is Wagner sleeping coach, a pass
enger coach, baggage car and a number
of freight cars. The whole train is
in charge of John Mcleod, and Sam
uel Hart looks after the baggage and
Patrick Hogan attends. to the breaks.
The train runs to Alger and the sleep
ing car is transferred to M. G. train
at Alb the next morning, and if no
time is lost, the passenger arrives at
Detroit IA hours and 10 minutes aft
er he leaves Alpena.
Monday morning, at 7:40 o'clock,
engine No. s, leaves with parlor car,
passenger coach, smoker, mail, express
and baggage car. Frank Kidder is
conductor, John Mcdonald attends to
the running of the engine, Al. Nesbitt
feeds the iron horse with coal, Ed
ward Mcdonald sees to smashing the
baggage, and Cub Mcleod handles
the breaks. This train, except engine,
goes through to Detroit without
change, and arrives there in 0 hours
and So minutes.
Monday night, at 9:15, engine No
7, leaves with freight cars, baggage
car, passenger coach and Wagner
sleeper. The officials of that train
are as follows: Criss Swindle conduc-
tor; Chas. Bonney, engineer; VIM.
Baxter, baggage man VIM. Wilkins,
breakman John Murphy, fireman.
The day train, which arrives here
Monday, is drawn by engine No. II.
The night express, which arrive Tues
day morning, is drawn by No. s, and
engine No. 7 brings back Tuesdays
day train.
The engine and crew that takes out
the night train, arrives back the next
evening with the day train, and the
crew that takes out the day train brings
back the night train next morning.
Each engine and crew makes four
round trips per week, leaving twice
with the night train, and twice with
the day train.
The run is hard one on the men.
They pass one night at this city and
one night on the road. At Alger
there is considerable shunting and
other work to be done, and the night
trains crew have freight cars to trans
fer on the trip down and up.
The cost of bed in the sleeping
car is 81 for lower berth and 81 for
an upper one, and 90 cents for the
"potah," sab. To go to Detroit, by
sleeping car, therefore costs railway
ticket, $7.65; bus fare, % cents
sleeping car So; porter 25 cents-to-.
tai $1o.15. For breakfast you take
your chance at some railway depot, or
take a lunch, or go without. The
last is the dearest and contains most
misery.
The running of the night train will
be discontinued some time this week,
and the noon freight train takes its
place.

the enemy can say "Jack Robinson"
their provisions, guns, ammunition,
clothing, and coin will be deposited
on board the Kaimiloa.
1t is we'll at least for Malietoa,
that he received the "advice and
encouragement" in kindly spirit.
1t speaks all the more favorably for
his shrewdness in that he could not
have been aware of the disastrous
results that might have followed,
had he acted otherwise. A visit
from the Hawaiian navy, on venge-
ancc bent, would spread ruin and
dessolation in every hen-coop in
Samoa, and the crown jewels would
never more be seen in Apia. 1t
sometimes happens that man acts
more wisely in an emergency than
he himself is conscious Of, and the
reception accorded Envoy Bush by
Malietoa, if it keeps the cadets OF
the Hawaiian Royal navy away from
him, is illustrative of that highly
original and profound propo sition.

WHO IS TO BLAME?

A case of broken leg was re-
ported in the BULLETIN yesterday.
A Mr.. Mccarthy, an engineer, is
said to have met with this misfor-
tune through stepping into hole in
the sidewalk on Nuuanu street.
That the leg was broken is fact,
and the unfortunate man is now
under surgical treatment in the
Queens Hospital. That the acci-
dent happened in the way indicated
is believed to be also fact. 1t is
not at all surprising that man
should break his leg in this way,
or even his neck. Indeed, it is
rather matter of surprise that we
have not greater number Of incl
dents of a similar nature to chroni-
Gle. The side walks, in many places,
particularly parts of Nuuanu street,
are in shameful condition. Ups
and downs, holes and hills, are their
characteristics. 1t is difficult to
walk on them without stumbling,
even in good daylight; in the dark
ness Of night, it is almost an impos-
sibility. Who is to blame, and who
is responsible for the injury accru-
ing to people from these man-traps
strewing their way? Primarily, the
property owners and lessees. 1t is
their duty to keep their sidewalks
in a safe condition. Secondarily,
the Government is to blame. 1t is
the duty Of government to see
that the property owners or lessees
keep their sidewalks in safe con-
dition for travel, and to compel
them to do so if they will not do it
voluntarily, from sense Of duty
and Of their own accord. Now, to
leave such matters entirely at the
option of people Of mixed commu-
nifty like that of Honolulu, means
just the condition of things which
we all see. Why does not the gov
ernment look after such matters? !?
What pity that public affairs are
left under the control and manage
ment of men who fail to realize the
duties and responsibilities of their
trust.

A STRANGE ADVENTURE.

p. Engleman, well-knOwn physi-
clan of this place, and former
member of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature, met with strange adven-
ture a few nights ago. He had
been at Walnut Port to see
patient, and was driving home,
when he was stopped by woman
who asked him to let her ride with
him as far as he was going. The
doctor readily consented. After she
got in he looked at her more closely,
and discovered that his companion
was man in female attire. He did
not lose his presence of mind, how
ever, nor betray his discovery, but,
as subterfuge, dropped his whip,
and, making the excuse that he was
afraid to let go the reins asked the
pseudo woman politely to get out
and pick it up. "She" consented
and alighted. The doctor did not
wait for any further developments,
but hurriedly started up his horse
and drove on. Just as he thought
himself out Of danger and was con-
graduating himself on his lucky es-
cape he was confronted by two per-
sons in female guise. They peered
closely into the carriage and, not
seeing the one who was evidently
their accomplice, made no effort to
detain him. On reaching home he
found in the carriage a muff and
revolver, which had been left by the
unknown "female" when she got
out to pick up the whip. They are
still in his possession. The general
impression is that the would-be
assailants intended to stop and rob
him, although the doctor holds to
the opinion that the masqueraders
intended to assassinate him. The
adventure has caused great excite
ment here, and many theories are
advanced for the solution of tho
mystery N. y. Tribune.
